Tanker Attacked in Hormuz as US-Iran Tensions Escalate

Sep 22, Kathmandu - Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned that it will expand the war zone if the US escalates the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Monday that it would "change the geography" of the war if the US escalates the conflict. However, it did not disclose further details about possible steps it would take to do so.

Meanwhile, according to the British military, an unidentified missile hit a tanker as it entered the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. Two crew members of the tanker were injured in the incident.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important energy and maritime trade routes. Any security incident here could affect regional maritime transport and oil supplies, so the international community is watching the latest incident with interest.
